15th.

Mr. Burr went to an Ordination, and consequently we had no reciting in the afternoon.
Mr. Williams had a Lecture to demonstrate the truth of the copernican System, at 3,
and in the evening: he shew us the planet Venus, which through a telescope, appears
shaped like the moon, and was this evening horned. She { 127 } is quite small view'd through our glasses, which magnify objects 90 Times.
